Hi there,

I'm trying to fetch a upload from URL but I'm getting this error:

"gfycat.error.GfycatClientError: (404) Error fetching the URL"

Did the Gfycat API change recently? I know it's a valid URL because it works on the official Gfycat.com website and it creates the GIF.

I also get the same error when I do client.check_link() function.

Any ideas?

it's a 301 likely. I've just run into this. Easy fix, let me see if any forks handle it first

nope, looks like it's my job, alright.

so there should be a cascade that checks redgifs as well apparently, since this is where the split exists. Whether one would want to add some "disallow_nsfw" flag is probably a separate ticket ... I'll just patch something that assumes the user wants the content they're requesting.

Fixing ankeshanand#13 '...rror: (404) Error fetching the URL'

Some content has been split-off to redgif which observes the same API
So a simple recursive fallback is added that checks the secondary site
before failing.

So 0.2.3 is still not available on pypi with this fix. Any idea when that's going to happen?
